Actress Uche Elendu has called out Arik Air following a technical issue which caused one of their aeroplanes to crash-land near Asaba, Delta State.
The 38-year-old in an Instagram post on Wednesday said that the plane which she boarded from Lagos to Asaba crash-landed 10 minutes before arriving the destination after the gear failed, causing the pilot to return to Lagos.
She also accused the management of knowing about the faulty aircraft, adding that the crew did not apologise to the passengers after the incident.
“My flight Arik air Lagos to Asaba just crashlanded in a remote area, we were 10 mins to Asaba but the gear failed the pilot had to reverse to Lagos…Im on a 20 minutes bus ride to the terminal now.

He said there is nothing like Jesus keep fooling yourself and i said to him, Only a FOOL says theres no God. They freaking knew the aircraft was faulty!! Damn!!!!! Bring out my luggage let me go catch another flight. Lousy Bunch,” she wrote.
The management of Arik Air also released a statement on Instagram, apologising for the inconveniences the situation may have caused their passengers, adding that their safety is their utmost priority.
